  "mcpServers": {
    "wecom": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "wecom-bot-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "WECOM_WEBHOOK_URL": "your-webhook-url"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Setting Environment Variables

Single Bot (Default)

# Windows PowerShell
$env:WECOM_WEBHOOK_URL = "your-webhook-url"

# Optional configurations
$env:MCP_LOG_LEVEL = "DEBUG"  # Log levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL
$env:MCP_LOG_FILE = "path/to/custom/log/file.log"  # Custom log file path

Multiple Bots Configuration

You can configure multiple bots using any of these methods:

Method 1: JSON Configuration (Recommended)

# Windows PowerShell
$env:WECOM_BOTS = '{"alert": {"name": "Alert Bot", "webhook_url": "https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=xxx", "description": "For alerts"}, "ci": {"name": "CI Bot", "webhook_url": "https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=yyy", "description": "For CI/CD"}}'

# Linux/macOS
export WECOM_BOTS='{"alert": {"name": "Alert Bot", "webhook_url": "https://...", "description": "For alerts"}, "ci": {"name": "CI Bot", "webhook_url": "https://...", "description": "For CI/CD"}}'

Method 2: Individual Environment Variables

# Windows PowerShell
$env:WECOM_BOT_ALERT_URL = "https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=xxx"
$env:WECOM_BOT_CI_URL = "https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=yyy"
$env:WECOM_BOT_NOTIFY_URL = "https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=zzz"

Method 3: Combined Mode

# WECOM_WEBHOOK_URL becomes the "default" bot
$env:WECOM_WEBHOOK_URL = "https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=default"
# Additional bots
$env:WECOM_BOT_ALERT_URL = "https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=alert"

MCP Client Configuration with Multiple Bots

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wecom": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["wecom-bot-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "WECOM_WEBHOOK_URL": "https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=default",
        "WECOM_BOTS": "{\"alert\": {\"name\": \"Alert Bot\", \"webhook_url\": \"https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=alert\"}, \"ci\": {\"name\": \"CI Bot\", \"webhook_url\": \"https://qyapi.weixin.qq.com/cgi-bin/webhook/send?key=ci\"}}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Log Management

The logging system uses platformdirs.user_log_dir() for cross-platform log file management:

• Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\hal\wecom-bot-mcp-server\Logs
• Linux: ~/.local/state/hal/wecom-bot-mcp-server/log
• macOS: ~/Library/Logs/hal/wecom-bot-mcp-server

The log file is named mcp_wecom.log and is stored in the above directory.

You can customize the log level and file path using environment variables:

• MCP_LOG_LEVEL: Set to DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL
• MCP_LOG_FILE: Set to a custom log file path

Usage

Once configured, the MCP server runs automatically when your MCP client starts. You can interact with it through natural language in your AI assistant.

Usage Examples

Scenario 1: Send weather information to WeCom

USER: "How's the weather in Shenzhen today? Send it to WeCom"
ASSISTANT: "I'll check Shenzhen's weather and send it to WeCom"

Scenario 2: Send meeting reminder and @mention relevant people

USER: "Send a reminder for the 3 PM project review meeting, remind Zhang San and Li Si to attend"
ASSISTANT: "I'll send the meeting reminder"
[The assistant will use the send_message tool with mentioned_list parameter]

6. list_wecom_bots - List all configured bots

   • Returns: List of available bots with their IDs, names, and descriptions

Multi-Bot Usage Examples

For Developers: Direct API Usage

If you want to use this package directly in your Python code (not as an MCP server):

from wecom_bot_mcp_server import send_message, send_wecom_file, send_wecom_image, send_wecom_template_card

# Send markdown message (uses default bot)
await send_message(
    content="**Hello World!**",
    msg_type="markdown"
)

# Send markdown_v2 message with tables and lists (default)
await send_message(
    content="| Column1 | Column2 |\n|---------|---------|\\n| Value1  | Value2  |",
    msg_type="markdown_v2"
)

# Send text message and mention users (use markdown for @mentions)
await send_message(
    content="Hello <@user1> <@user2>",
    msg_type="markdown",
    mentioned_list=["user1", "user2"]
)

# Send message to a specific bot
await send_message(
    content="Build completed successfully!",
    msg_type="markdown_v2",
    bot_id="ci"  # Send to CI bot
)

# Send alert to alert bot
await send_message(
    content="⚠️ High CPU usage detected!",
    msg_type="markdown_v2",
    bot_id="alert"
)

# Send file to specific bot
await send_wecom_file("/path/to/file.txt", bot_id="ci")

# Send image to specific bot
await send_wecom_image("/path/to/image.png", bot_id="alert")

# Send template card (text_notice)
await send_wecom_template_card(
    template_card_type="text_notice",
    template_card_source={"icon_url": "https://example.com/icon.png", "desc": "System"},
    template_card_main_title={"title": "Deployment Success", "desc": "Production environment"},
    template_card_card_action={"type": 1, "url": "https://example.com/dashboard"},
    template_card_emphasis_content={"title": "100%", "desc": "Success Rate"},
    bot_id="ci"
)

Multi-Bot Configuration in Code

from wecom_bot_mcp_server.bot_config import get_bot_registry, list_available_bots

# List all available bots
bots = list_available_bots()
for bot in bots:
    print(f"Bot: {bot['id']} - {bot['name']}")

# Check if a specific bot exists
registry = get_bot_registry()
if registry.has_bot("alert"):
    print("Alert bot is configured")

# Get webhook URL for a specific bot
url = registry.get_webhook_url("ci")

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Testing

# Run all tests with coverage
uvx nox -s pytest

# Run import tests only
uvx nox -s test_imports

# Run specific test file
uvx nox -s pytest -- tests/test_message.py

# Run tests with verbose output
uvx nox -s pytest -- -v

Code Style

# Check code
uvx nox -s lint

# Automatically fix code style issues
uvx nox -s lint_fix

Building and Publishing

# Build the package
uvx nox -s build

# Publish to PyPI (requires authentication)

Continuous Integration

The project uses GitHub Actions for CI/CD:

• MR Checks: Runs on all pull requests, tests on Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS with Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12
• Code Coverage: Uploads coverage reports to Codecov
• Import Tests: Ensures the package can be imported correctly after installation

All dependencies are automatically tested during CI to catch issues early.
